One Man And His Dog

The infamous revue "One Man and His Dog" was performed on the evening of Thursday 5th May 1977 in front of a drunken large audience.

Currently we only have copies of the programme, which is reproduced on this page.

As some of the programme is not very well printed, we also provide a transcript.

A review of the revue was published in the June 1977 issue of BLUNDERBUSS

Here is the front cover of the programme.

And here is the full programme of skits and sketches (a transcript appears further down this page).
